mipro Barry Sanders Project

[Jack_wilds 550]

...I have a 14.1" wxga-ati-lcd acer laptop and yes the last couple have been a little tall but if the story and pics are relevant and reaching the 'x' button isn't out range then it ain't so bad... some Fischer building story in the query would be good too...

concerning the 'Music Hall' how about something fun in the query -that a 'playing now' would appear too but -as Madhatter does with his fun lines, it would be unique each query... but whatever, just a thought

[Vlasky 1,803]

@Jasoncw: Since you asked about the queries, and I do believe that you make all the BSP queries, I remembered one problem. Lovely BSP Hofmann Building by nofunk has a query (btw I like the way you do it with the pics and some facts) which lacks 'make historic' option/ check box. It can be a problem as I never get to preserve it and it gets replaced afterwards.

We've got textures! I'm still working on making the gold tiles work (I took them off for the renders below), but I think texturing is almost done!

[io_bg 249]

Wow! Looks fantastic! Can't wait to see how you'll implement the gold tiles!

[Vlasky 1,803]

Amazing!

But I must admit, walls without facade look odd,which is a reason more that will make the tower stand out, because this is not a filler building.

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

Lookin' good! I wonder what ad you are going to put on the wall

Vlasky: the sad truth is, it will probably stand out less in game than it does in reality. Just take a look at the place, it is the only building left on it's entire block!

*claps* amazing jog

[Chris M 406]

Looks fantastic, Nolan!

[Jack_wilds 550]

...what can I say but wow! it really brought it to life...

You're right! Detroit amazes me! A motor city indeed! Or parking lot city.

ps. @ nofunk: Please include version without huge billboard.

[nofunk 1,933]

Thanks everyone!!!

Vlasky: I'm planning to make a billboard prop that users can simply remove from their plugins if they don't want the Detroit themed billboards.

People have asked about the blank wall, and here it is!

Who's that on the billboard?? It's the man... the myth... THE Barry Sanders!

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

Ah, I thought that one would be most fitting

[harishna 847]

What a beauty, such a nice model! I was wondering that maybe you can release that gorgeous in a separate file...

[gutterclub 2,729]

Ha, good old Barry..awesome, I love it!

[artist 4]

Great brickwork and window detail. Well done

[psander5 198]

It looks fantastic!  Having such a large blank wall makes this a really interesting building.  I have to admit, seeing an American Football ad made my heart sink a little, knowing I'd never be able to use this building... but then I saw that you plan to make it as a prop!  Thanks  

PS: All this time I never new Barry Sanders was a sportsman  I always assumed, without doing any research, that he must have been a famous local architect or civic planner or something! 

[Jasoncw 11,949]

If it weren't for the BSP, I wouldn't even know who Barry Sanders was.  Now I know he's "some football guy". 

As you can tell I didn't have anything to do with the naming, lol

[Aaron Graham 4,417]

Wow!!! that all I can say, Wow. A winner.

[Jack_wilds 550]

Well Nofunk...

its a great project, however as good as Barry Sanders may have been, -he played for the Lions...

Cheesehead Jack

upps ^^

[Jasoncw 11,949]

ok guys, Music Hall is uploaded!

[SimHoTToDDy 2,939]

Hard to imagine this took place over two years. They grow so fast!  Seems like just yesterday when you could count the walls on one finger.

[artist 4]

Looks great. It took 2 years? No doubt you have the serious illness called..."real-lifeitis" Same here.

[Vlasky 1,803]

Thank you BSP. You are working so hard and reshaping our cities. Not to mention high quality and uber realism you bring to the SimCities all around the world. Keep up the good work.

memo to myself- I post too much on this thread

[Jack_wilds 550]

Thanks for the 'music hall', I like it lots!

[Jasoncw 11,949]

Thanks guys!

Todd, you bring back memories.  Nofunk and I started this building literally sitting side-by-side at the computer, and then for a few years worked on it here and there.  Finally a few months ago we started working more diligently on it, and it looks like people are glad we did, lol

Vlasky, you're welcome to post in this thread as much as you'd like. 

So, One Woodward Avenue is uploaded!! 

...and the first rating it got was a 2...  If you don't normally rate things please rate it, to help dillute the downrating. 

[KCJC 367]

Awesome bat, it seems the 2 rating is completely gone, as of right now it's rating is 5.00 . I was angry when I saw it rated so low, it is truly magnificent.

[hardcopy 0]

You guys have frigg'n mad skills!! Planning to put Ford filed up? Go Leo's!

[Vlasky 1,803]

You have uploaded so many high quality BATs in last couple of weeks, that you have reached completely new level of productivity. All three of you as a BSP and as separate BATers are worth admiring. Congratulations on stunning BATs and thank you for sharing them with us.

[Jack_wilds 550]

...its a BSP bat blitz... thoroughly enjoying it is there a 'crowning release' waiting in the wings or... I too extent a 'thank-you' a sentiment in keeping with this weeks feast day of gratitude for all good things in life... -I'm grateful to not be enduring the trials of homelessness, as it would have been bad, allowing me to enjoy playing SC4 deluxe and all these works of 'art'
